Laravel Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

Middleware executes in the order defined in Kernel.php. Conflicts can occur if one middleware depends on another but runs earlier.

Solution: Define Middleware Priority

   namespace App\Http\Middleware;

   use Closure;
   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;

   class ShareUserPreferences
   {
       public function handle($request, Closure $next)
       {
           // Example: Share user-specific preferences
           $userPreferences = [
               'theme' => 'light',
               'language' => 'en',
           ];

           View::share('userPreferences', $userPreferences);

           return $next($request);
       }
   }

Add the middleware to the web middleware group in app/Http/Kernel.php:

// Middleware to check if the user is an admin
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    // Verify the user is authenticated and an admin
    if (auth()->check() && auth()->user()->isAdmin) {
        return $next($request);
    }

    // Redirect non-admin users to the home page
    return redirect()->route('home');
}
